WHat is instuctional design?
What is instructional design? The terms instructional design, instructional technology, and instructional systems design, are often used interchangebly. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to accurately define instructional system design or define instructional technolgy, or define instructional systems technology. Here are a few definitions of instructional design, definitions of instructional technology, and definitions of instructional systems design:
What is Instructional Design?:

Instructional design, also known as instructional systems design, is the analysis of learning needs and systematic development of instruction. Instructional designers often use Instructional technology as a method for developing instruction. Instructional design models typically specify a method, that if followed will facilitate the transfer of knowledge, skills and attitude to the recipient or acquirer of the instruction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_design
Instructional Design is the systematic development of instructional specifications using learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of instruction. It is the entire process of analysis of learning needs and goals and the development of a delivery system to meet those needs. It includes development of instructional materials and activities; and tryout and evaluation of all instruction and learner activities. www.umich.edu/~ed626/define.html
